[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2626151, member: 20480"]So, let's say you have three 1913 Liberty nickels to start, and you can't get a buyer interested in one at more than $3M, so you destroy one, leaving 4 from which to choose.

He / she was only interested in buying one coin after all, and not in cornering the market by buying all five. If the goal all along has been to acquire a single coin, why would the buyer want to pay you more for one of your remaining coins? If you owned three coins, and were unwilling to sell the first coin at $3M, you are still the high buyer.

No, I don't think it pays to intentionally reduce the extant population of a given issue.[/QUOTE]
